Description

Botyl Cottage is a cottage dating from the 16th to 17th century that has been altered over time. It features a timber frame with curved braces, thin brick infill, and a rubble stone plinth. The lower gable walls were rebuilt in brick during the 18th century, while the upper parts retain queen strut trusses; the left side is covered with hung tiles that hide patterned brick infill. The roof is made of old tiles and is half-hipped on the left side. There is a chimney stack with grouped shafts made of thin brick on the right side.

The cottage has two storeys and one and a half bays. The full bay on the left has a three-light barred wooden casement window, while the half bay on the right features a similar casement in a timber-framed lean-to at the front, with a paired leaded casement window above. To the left, there is a 20th-century single-storey brick extension that projects out and has a door at the angle with the left bay.

Inside, the cottage includes a moulded spine beam and a spiral staircase with two 18th-century balusters. The upper room has an arch-braced tie-beam over the fireplace alcove, flanked by old board doors, a two-light window leading to the staircase, and curved wind-braces in the roof. The cottage is likely part of a larger house.
